(Wednesday; July 16; Sioux Center, Iowa) Dordt College head volleyball
coach Tom Van Den Bosch recently returned from conducting a skills
camp. While the career wins leader at Dordt College conducts several
camps every summer, this camp had a decidedly different flavor with
the veteran of 11 college seasons traveling to Japan to conduct a
camp for the Kyoto International Christian School.

\uc1\u8220?Running a volleyball camp at an international Christian
school was an opportunity I could not pass up,\uc1\u8221? said Van
Den Bosch. \uc1\u8220?The students were extremely receptive to me
as a coach and a person.\uc1\u8221? \line

Van Den Bosch conducted the camp at a government youth center July
7\_11 in Osaka. Van Den Bosch was thrust into the typical life of
a student at the youth center.

\uc1\u8220?We got up each morning at 6:30 and did roll call with raising
the flag,\uc1\u8221? said Van Den Bosch. \uc1\u8220?I slept on a mattress
and ate all my meals with chopsticks\uc1\u8212?it was either that
or go hungry.\uc1\u8221?

The camp also fit in with Van Den Bosch\uc1\u8217?s dual role as associate
director of admissions at Dordt College.

{\pard\sa220\li0\ri0\ql\plain
\uc1\u8220?Although adjusting to the Japanese culture, climate and
food was quite interesting to say the least, the friendships and experience
will be something I will never forget,\uc1\u8221? said Van Den Bosch.
\uc1\u8220?I hope many of them will now consider Dordt College as
a place to continue their education after high school. It was exciting
to see God use volleyball as a way to build a bridge between these
two institutions.\uc1\u8221?
